you ever think about how Simon literally did a Gone Girl
Hi anon,
I don’t want to spoil Gone Girl for anyone, but I for sure thought that when I first read the novel! Anyone who has read/seen Gone Girl will know what I’m talking about.
If I’m completely honest, I was disappointed with the ending. The title of the novel made it seem like one of the main characters was lying, so I feel as if it was misleading.
But I still did somewhat enjoy the final revelation!
Do you know anything about the sequel thing? I heard it's with all different characters but idk??? I'm still excited tho
Hi there anon!
I want everyone to know that Karen M. McManus’ new novel is NOT a sequel to One Of Us Is Lying. It is a completely new, standalone novel.
Her new novel is called ‘Two Can Keep A Secret’. The tag line is “if one is dead” and to be honest it sounds VERY similar to Pretty Little Liars.
However the novel is as follows:
Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery's never been there, but she's heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows.
The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone's declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.
Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she's in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous--and most people aren't good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it's safest to keep your secrets to yourself.
(The description is taken from goodreads.com)
If I’m honest it sounds interesting but not that different to other things we’ve seen before (PLL, Riverdale etc.) and doesn’t really bring anything new to the table.
Nevertheless I hope this book does well and I hope everyone enjoys it!
I cried so much at the end of chapter 30 because: MY SHIIIIIIIIP! And I was ready to throw the book out the window. But I guess the epilogue atleast gives hope for it right?
Hi anon! Haha I feel like a lot of people were in the same situation as you! The epilogue makes it very ambiguous, which I like, as the reader can decide the fate of the two characters. But the epilogue does lean to a more positive side, so I think it’s very likely that the two do get together ;)
What do you think is the Nate Bronwyn ship name? Brate? Nonwyn? Natewyn?
I personally think Natewyn sounds the best, but what do you guys think? What should the official ship name be?
When the show airs, will you be accepting members to make edits and gifs and stuff?
It’s something I have definitely considered! I think it is very likely that I will be looking for new members! In the meantime, please tag us in your edits and posts! We track #oouildaily and #oneofusislyingdaily! We also track the general tags too.
in ur opinion, do u think the show will be successful? ive never been this early to a fandom and i just really want the show to run for many years
Hi! First of all, welcome to the fandom!
The show’s success will depend on a lot of things.
1) Popularity of the books - the book has only been out for a year or so, which in my opinion is too short a time to release an adaptation of. Although the book is popular, it isn’t insanely popular to have a massive fan base yet. For example, the first ‘The Hunger Games’ book came out in 2007, and the movie came out in 2012. In that whole five years, ‘The Hunger Games’ became insanely popular, and garnered a massive fan base, which is the main reason for the film’s success. The book fan’s were what propelled the movie franchise forward. In my opinion, the book hasn’t got a big enough fan base for the show to excel in ratings.
2) The network the show will be aired on — as mentioned in a previous post, it has been announced that E! will be airing the show on their network. E! is most known for its reality shows like ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ — VERY different from ‘One Of Us Is Lying’ which is a murder mystery… It’s hard to predict the outcome of the show based on this. If the show had been picked up by Netflix or The CW - or even Freeform - the show would be in safer hands, as these networks have experience on making shows like these.
3) The quality of the show — this kind of links in with the previous point, but if the show is messily made, with bad writing and bad acting, I wouldn’t expect many people to stick around for the whole season. Which is why I am worried about E! having the rights of the show, because they have never made a show like this.
4) There is only one book — it will be hard to have multiple seasons if they follow the books, because there is only one book to base it on. If they were to make more seasons, they would have to make new storylines and plot lines, which may be difficult. The writers would need to do a good job, and it should be worth making another season. If not, people will stop watching and fans of the book especially may not enjoy it. But like I said, it depends on the quality of the show. My worry is that the show might turn out like ‘Pretty Little Liars’ where there were new seasons for no reason, and they began to make stuff up that didn’t make sense. After season 4/5 of ‘Pretty Little Liars’ the show went downhill because it stopped beginning to make sense.
5) Worldwide influence — E! is only a major network in the US and UK, really. International fans may not be able to watch the show, and will hence watch illegally or something. Netflix could pick up the show for global audiences, like they’ve done for ‘Riverdale’ and ‘Shadowhunters’. In the US, ‘Riverdale’ airs on The CW, but the rest of the world can watch it on Netflix as a Netflix Original Series. In the US, ‘Shadowhunters’ airs on Freeform, but the rest of the world can watch it on Netflix as a Netflix Original Series. The more people watch the show (across the globe) the more successful the show will be.
I know this is a bit long, but I think all these points will be relevant in terms of how successful the show is. In my personal opinion, I don’t think the show will be hugely successful, mainly due to the fact that E! will be airing the show, but also because the fan base isn’t that big.
Obviously, it is too early to make predictions; we will have to wait and see what happens — perhaps the fan base will grow, perhaps the show might be of good quality. Who knows? I think we should try to be positive, and be hopeful! Stick around to find out more! We’re in for a long ride. I hope this helps!
If anyone has any more questions do not hesitate to ask, and let me know what you guys think!

books read/re-read in 2017: One of Us Is Lying | Karen McManus
She’s a princess and you’re a jock. And you’re a brain. And you’re a criminal. You’re all walking teen-movie stereotypes.
One of Us is Lying || 29 May 2017
Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon’s dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?
